So, what Israel is admitting here, is that they could individually pinpoint and target Hamas but instead carpet bombed Palestine into genocide.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 145 points 1 week ago

supply chain attacks are dirty tactics too, they have no idea who is holding 3000 pagers when detonation.

They literally knew about the attack before it happened. Genocide was always the primary goal.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 17 points 1 week ago

Israel is obviously behind the attacks but has not taken responsibility for them yet. So no, they're not admitting anything.

No , see when THEY do it, it is terrorism; when WE do it ……….

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 week ago

This flippant accusation misses the grander issue.

If Israel is capable of precisely targeting enemy military like this, then why are there 35k dead in Gaza?

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

It's a good point

But the accusation isn't flippant. That's exactly what this is.

Is it precise? From the pager terror attacks only 9 or killed, maybe 2 of them "fighters", at least 1 child, 2700+ wounded including medical staff and other innocent people. That's not exactly precise in my books.

If this was the other way around, we'd have global outrage, days of mourning and piles of new weapons for Israel right now. We'd be speaking about one of the worst terrorist attacks in history.

Five years ago, if you had asked me if Israel would be committing terrorist attacks across Palestine, Lebanon and beyond, I would have said absolutely not.

I would have been wrong, even back then, but jesus fucking christ, what an absolute shambles.

How my government supports this state-sponsored terrorism is beyond me.

Call it for what it is, a terrorist attack.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago

The media condemned political violence against Trump in unison one month ago.

Israel commits one of the biggest terrorist attacks against a Lebanese political organization in history and the media claps.

Lotta Hezbollah flags in that crowd, was that some kind of funeral procession from yesterday’s pagers?

[-] Sami@lemmy.zip 54 points 1 week ago

Yes, a funeral procession for 4 members.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago

Exponential funeral growth.

This is a super-villain plan becoming a reality.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 32 points 1 week ago

If this carries on, we'll have exploding semaphore flags by the end of the week.

Shit, we use the same radios at work. Hope no-one blew up.

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 week ago

I saw this on Reddit first while I was checking my city subreddit, damn the headline there definitely gives a different impression.

(The comments are all mostly jokes, didn't even bother wading through them and came to see If Lemmy had a thread instead).

R/worldnews? It's completely run by zionists. Anything critical or Israel or pro Palestinian gets instantly nuked
